In reply to the discussion: Bloomberg to ban e-bikes [View all]Travis_0004
(5,417 posts)44. Bikes shouldn't be on the sidewalk

NYS law treats electric powered bicycles as bicycles. Those regs only apply to gas powered bicycles.

And when they start doing that you'll whine about the fascist NYC cops harrassing cyclists.
